Our Story
Salt therapy is a scientifically-proven treatment for respiratory and skin conditions.
For more than 20 years dry salt aerosol (administered in specially-designed halochambers) has been used to treat upper and lower respiratory conditions such as cold and flu, allergy, asthma, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, sinus infection, sinusitis, rhinitis, hay fever and emphysema. Halotherapy has been improving health and wellness for over 150 years in Europe.
In addition, the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of dry sodium chloride aerosol has been shown to effectively treat ear infections and conditions of the skin such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.
Some of the many benefits you’ll receive from The Salt Room halotherapy treatments include…
•Abatement of bronchial inflammation.
•Removal of airborne pollen particles from airways.
•Strengthening of immune system that decreases allergic reaction to seasonal allergies and indoor.
•Cleansing and detoxification of the airways of the respiratory system.
•Prevention and treatment of common colds and respiratory ailments.
•Improvement of dermatological disorders such as acne, dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema.
•Reduction of snoring
•Better sleep
Halotherapy is also very grounding. It has been proven to stabilize the nerves and induce relaxation. This is due to the negative-ionic atmosphere (salt is negatively charged).
This is a 100% drug free therapy. Scientists and researchers have found halotherapy as a means of concentrating the positive effects of salt observed in nature (such as the ocean).
It was in 1843 that the concept on which halotherapy is based was first published by a physician. After observing the remarkably low incidence of respiratory conditions in salt mine workers (who were regularly exposed to air saturated with saline dust) the concept of halotherapy was born.
More recently, research published in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that salt inhalation was a highly effective treatment for cystic fibrosis after observations among surfers led to clinical trials.
Our rooms bring the natural benefits of salt treatment to you and take them one step further by providing the ideal concentration of dry sodium chloride aerosol to treat your specific condition.
The Salt Room has the equipment and staff to tailor your treatment:
Our rooms use the newest top-of-the-line halogenerators to crush pharmaceutical grade salt grains into small particles the size of 1 to 10 micrometers. Particles bigger than 5 micrometers are caught in the nose and throat, while the smaller particles can pe*****te deep into the lungs.
Rooms are supplied with fresh air filtered by HEPA air filters that capture and remove up to 99.97 percent of all airborne particles and activated carbon filters that further remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can have a negative effect on health.
Surface areas in the salt rooms are covered with natural sea salt which creates a sterilized and negative ion environment.
